Laser Resurfacing Near Little Rock

Achieve youthful and radiant skin with the Contour TRL, the revolutionary Tunable Resurfacing Laser offered at Shewmake Plastic Surgery in Little Rock, AR. Featuring Full Field resurfacing and precise ablation depth control, this technology effectively addresses skin imperfections caused by aging, sun damage, and acne scars. It also has exceptional capabilities in treating pre-malignant lesions and smokers’ lines around the mouth, making it the perfect solution for achieving flawless skin.

How Does It Work?

The Contour TRL employs a dual-mode erbium: YAG laser which incorporates cutting-edge resurfacing technology, providing superior results. This advanced technology targets the top layer of skin, revitalizing dry, sun-damaged, and uneven skin with precision. It also reaches deeper into the skin to stimulate new collagen formation. By building more collagen, your skin gains its youthful softness, smoothness, and tightness, giving you a rejuvenated appearance.

Why Choose Contour TRL?

This revolutionary erbium laser treatment targets superficial and moderately deep lines and wrinkles on the face and neck with greater precision than traditional skin resurfacing treatments. Using erbium laser technology, Contour TRL minimizes damage to surrounding tissue, reducing side effects like swelling, bruising, and redness. Plus, it boasts a quicker recovery time compared to CO2 laser resurfacing.

Benefits of Contour TRL

The TRL laser peel promotes new collagen growth, reducing the appearance of wrinkles while improving skin thickness and resilience. And while it's primarily used on the face and neck, it can also improve skin texture in other areas of the body. The distinct laser technology is set apart from the others by its independent controls for tissue ablation and coagulation. This innovative design allows for three levels of resurfacing - gentle, moderate, or deep - with unmatched accuracy and customization. With ContourTRL, safety, and effectiveness come hand in hand, making it the perfect option for any patient in need.
